If you get a grub menu you can edit debian's grub entry pointing it to the correct (to grub) drive for your debian partition. It would be best if you had access to the grub documentation (e.g. the html manual). Finding the right grub drive can be done interactivly from the grub edit functionality but can be arcane without the manual. It involves using the tab key to get grubs list of possibilities. E.g. kernel ( TAB will show the drives grub sees, ditto later for partitions. Don't give up, grub will do it, but find and read the manual.
